1) you should learn pointers(they may ask in i.w)

2)****should learn c++(this is very very imp,based on this only i got job.one more thing is class,inheratenci&polymorphism is sufficient)

3)you should prepare one fem project and tell them that as your own work(this will increase chance to 99%)

ans:
ans may be 1.(illegal initialization)
